| Quote: | New Might & Magic® game to be powered by Source™ Engine from Valve
SAN FRANCISCO - AUGUST 4, 2005 - Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, announces the development of Dark Messiah™ of Might & Magic®, a new first-person action game for the PC, powered by an enhanced version of the Source™ Engine, the award-winning game technology Valve created to power Half-Life®2.
Developed by Arkane Studios, the team behind the critically acclaimed Arx Fatalis game, Dark Messiah of Might & Magic® puts players in a first-person perspective, allowing them to immerse themselves in the legendary Might and Magic® universe as never before. It is also the world's first fantasy action game to feature a complete first-person combat system. It takes full advantage of the Source™ Engine's exceptional technological enhancements in areas such as character animation, advanced AI, real-world physics and shader-based rendering.
Ubisoft acquired the Might and Magic® brand in 2003 and Dark Messiah of Might & Magic® is the second title Ubisoft will be launching as it restores this famed franchise to glory. Dark Messiah of Might & Magic® is scheduled for a summer 2006 release and will be shown for the first time at the Games Convention in Germany on August 17, 2005. |

Says nothing about Steam.
The Source engine can be used without being integrated into Steam (as in Vampire: Bloodlines for example).

I liked all the previous M&M games, so this is really good news. I hope they'll stick to the same elements as the predecessors, and will only improve stuff. Shame the rls is only next year.

Check the trailers indeed. I can't wait to play this game. Sword fighting in FPS that looks to be actually exciting. Wow, I'm excited.
EDIT: Use www.gametrailers.com

Too bad they went for the lousy Source engine which can olnly handle very small zones. I hated the loading every 5-6 minutes in HL2! It totaly destroyed what could've been an excellent and immersive game. I really hope they've modified the engine to unrecognition, but i doubt it.

The devs, who have made Arx Fatalis, have been making DM M&M. And, Valve's Source engine is so capable. So, i think this will be a great game. Keep your eyes peeled.Try Arx Fatalis. It is really a good game. When, it was released, it was considered as a sequal to Ultima Underworld.
